THE ZENITH RAZOR STANDS HI&H BY ITS OWN MERIT, 



GUST. KNEOHT MANUFACTURING CO., CHICAGO. 



Now, as all good things are liable to be imitated, parties 
trying to, and imagine tliey could get an article to equal the 
ZENITH RAZOR. 

The first thing they do, is to find an attractive name for 
such goods ; look at other cataloguer for various names they 
have chosen to that effect. 

Some dealers imagine the abduction of a good name (stamped 
upon goods) would blinden their patrons, who take it an oppor- 
tunity to give such an assertion a small trial. 

lb Illlll lilil will isttf ill fteie attiafls! 

It is made in a manner not known to others, and stands firm 
by its quality. 

This name and ^-^^'^;2^'''=— ^ is used only for the identifica- 
tion of these celebrated Razors, because when our patrons once 
had them, they want them again. 

What is a barber without a good razor? Made for his pur- 
pose alone. 

The ZENITH RAZOR fills this place; it is, as it stands, 
UNIVERSAL as to quality and reputation. The DIAMOND 
ZENITH RAZOR and Gust. Knecht's o^^m make ALL STEEL 
(hammered) SHEARS are the priin^cipals of the barber's cut- 
lery.

GRINDING AND REPAIRING. 



Please Observe the following Directions when Sending in Barbers' Cutlery for Grinding: 

Mail Packages. — Do not paste, nor seal, nor put in any writing. Write your name 
and address outside, and send instructions extra by letter, according to late postal regula- 
tions. Razors should be wrapped with thin, neat wire around before the paper wrap- 
per is placed on. 

Express Packages. — You can put in letter with full address and instructions. It is 
the safest way to send by express. Packages of one Razor or Shears should be prepaid. 

Please attach your address to all orders and packages you send for repairs.

Clippers being in bad order, additional charge may be necessary. Grinding of Clip- 
pers must be done by skillful grinders; very few in Chicago are successful in doing this 
job right. The newly invented machine for grinding Clippers, which we have, works 
like a charm.

wanted to use to old style, or for the Improved Clippers.

As we are MECHANICS ourselves, we claim to do what is called "A No, 1 Work." 

Concaving of Razors in proper style is an art of itself, and ought to be placed in the 
hands of real mechanics only. 

WE DO NOT GRIND RAZORS DRY. 

Our establishment is systematically arranged, provided with the most practical and 
latest improvements and inventions of our own, so there is no need of unscrupulous 
puffs, calculated only for people who never look at real facts. 

We A.RE Practical Cutlers. We grind and repair Tailor Shears and other Cutlery.

HONES. 

Our advantages iu filling Orders for Hones. — The way and manner as started by Mr. 
Knecht, Sr., a few years ago, when in Europe, having the Hones undergo a close 
inspection, before they leave the quarry (every single one) by one thus educated 
expert, has given us a great advantage and benefit in receiving nothing but selected 
goods. Our Hone trade is a large one, and we shall continue in employing all possible 
means to secure good hones for our patrons. We can thus say we have better Hones to 
offer than the ordinary market supply. 

Please give particulars with order as to grit, size and limited price. 

We have the Swatt Razor Hones, Price $3, and sell these on their own merit.

and examine the Reclining Barber Chair whenever convenient for them to do so and be 
convinced of its superiority. It is impossible to illustrate the Chair to its proper advan-

m the highest praise. Solid comfort for the occupant, and convenient and easy working 
for the Barber. •' °

the Boot Blacking Chair, which is a great convenience to the boot-black, an ornament

BARBER POLES- Continued. 

A well assorted Stock of Barber Poles is kept on hand in 
our Salesroom. 



After manj' experiments we have come to the conclusion that 
Poles turned from a dry and solid cedar beam stand exposure to 
the weather far better than those made of hollow ordinary pine 
wood. 

We t urn out quite a number of Poles, and many are to be found 
on the streets of Chicago and elsewhere. 

The first attraction of a well fitted up Barber Shoj) is a good 
nice Pole. 

Our painter is an artist in his line. Nothing but tlie best 
material is used; the balls and rings are gilded with i^ure gold leaf. 
The colors on our Poles keep their bright appearance for several 
years. 

Our No. 5 Pole is octagon in renter, with raised gilded stars. 
(See illustrations.) A splendid and showy pattern.

One Iron Tank or Boiler is always neces- 
sary. Connection should not be made direct- 

ly from Heater to Bath Tub. " 

If there is no water-v?orks in your city you need the following fixtures: 1st, a 
wooden cold water tank; 2d, an iron tank or boiler; 3d, a heater; 4th, bath tubs. Con- 
nect the heater with the iron tank or boiler (see cut), run a pipe from the top of tank to 
the cold water supply; hot water is drawn off from the iron tank to the bath tubs, a 
separate pipe for cold water being needed from the main water supply (wooden tank) to 
bathtubs. We cut and thread the iron pipes to order, and set all up in our workshop, 
if details are given, so it does not absolutely require a professional plumber to bring the 
articles in place and in working order. 

-♦- 

Above illustrations show Wilks' Bathroom Heater, which has been found reliable, 
and used for many years past. They are made of heavy boiler iron, securely riveted. 
Each Heater can be relied upon to furnish the amount of hot water stated. They com- 
bine safety with durability and economy. Persons in attendance should not fire the 
Heater while empty of water, nor let cold water in while heater is hot. The illustration 
on bottom of next page on left side shows the small heater, not self-feeder. Upper part 
is a heavy portion of the smoke pipe, with feed door, which we furnish with the Heater. 
The illustration to the right on bottom of next page shows the large size self-feeder, with 
damper chain and improved top for pipe connections. Our Wilks' Heaters have experi- 
enced many improvements of late. 

Outfits for our Bath Tubs, including Wilks' Heater (size 10x18), 30 gallon boiler, 
2 Fuller Bibbs, and 1 Zink and Bath Tub. Total cost, $47.

Boiler, Pipe and Fittings, see next page.
